One soluation is to create a new raw UDP (not RTP) socket, and use it 
to send messages to the event loop.  (Being a socket, the arrival of 
each packet will unblock "select()", and will be treated as an event.)

In early April, Stas Desyatnlkov posted the code that he wrote to 
solve this problem:
